I'll give it a go when if there are any demos or free games available, if it lets me use a DS4. I've used PS Now since launch so I'm not against streaming, but I don't plan to jump into Stadia.

You can use DS4, and it works both wired and wirelessly on PC. I played Destiny 2 and Gylt a little over a half hour each today. Received my activation code, but my Chromecast and Stadia Controller have not arrived yet. 

After seeing how well DS4 works, I highly doubt I will ever bother with the Stadia Controller. I’ll give it a try on the Chromecast to see how it plays, but the response was already fine with DS4. The only issue I had was the washed out looking image.

Heard the responsiveness/connectivity is spotty, and I already don't like the idea of everything being a service with Stadia, essentially putting you at the mercy of the company and never actually owning any of the software you buy. That's a hard pass for me now and in the foreseeable future unless something drastically changes. Would update my gaming PC and/or buy a PS4 before getting Stadia.

You don’t have to get Stadia. If you have a PC with a Chrome Browser, a DS4 or XBO controller, and a USB cable or Bluetooth, then you already have Stadia.

Personally, I have no interest in 3rd party games on Stadia, but I am looking forward to Original IP from their 1st Party Studios, that take advantage of the unique Cloud only networking of Stadia, and the ease of tapping into multiple CPU/GPU.

I’m really hoping that by the end of next gen, we have access to all of these streaming platforms, on all three consoles. Being able to buy one consoles that has your most beloved games, while still having access to the other ecosystems without having to drop $300 plus on multiple additional devices would be a huge win.

But I mean, you still do have to pay for the service don't you? 

I do like the convenience of playing these high-end games on multiple devices, but I'm concerned the tech just isn't quite there yet. Maybe in a decade it'll be more solid, at which point I'm more inclined to take the plunge. And I still appreciate the notion of actually owning your games, especially in physical format. And I don't see that ever changing with me.
